Yunus E. Tunçil's research focuses on food chemistry and nutrition, particularly dietary fiber, prebiotics, and gut microbiota interactions. His work examines how food byproducts (like hazelnut and avocado skins), fermented foods, and complex carbohydrates such as glucans and exopolysaccharides affect digestion, gut bacteria, and the production of health-related metabolites. Much of the work involves characterizing novel food ingredients and testing their effects using laboratory fermentation models and human studies.
